Charter or buy a yacht?
Charter for flexibility, buy for regular use — often, charter first.
Two ways onto the water
Should you charter or buy? It depends on how often you will use a boat and your appetite for ownership.
Charter
Chartering suits anyone who wants the sea for a few days or weeks a year, without the cost and management of a boat: berth, crew, maintenance, winter storage. You choose the right boat for each occasion.
Buying
Acquisition makes sense for regular use and the pleasure of ownership, but carries real costs. We often advise starting by chartering different types before buying — to learn exactly which boat suits you.
